This is my second year doing online classes and I must say it's a lot of responsibility. Having to go to online class when there's a PD day at school, doing all of the little assignments teachers assign and being dedicated because with online class, there's no teacher hovering over you to get your work done, it's all you and your choices.
I'd say my online experience is one that I will never forget and one that I'm proud of. So to all of the students who are thinking about doing these classes or have already signed up, I have a few pieces of advice:
- Do not hesitate, sign up.
- Be organized.
- Ask questions if you don't understand.
- Socialize with your classmates, when appropriate.
- Do 95 % of the work the teacher assigns you, it comes in handy.
- Work hard.
Each teacher at E-learn has the capability of making you feel comfortable and to make you understand. And if you don't, well that's what extra help is for!
I can assure you that joining the E-learn family will be something you won't regret.
Hope you have as much fun as I did :)

Recap of Chemistry!
Okay, so we've done all of this work on reversible reactions and equilibrium: Le Chatelier's Principle, Factors effecting euqilibrium, The Equilbrium constant...and so on.
But let's go back to the basics.
What is a reversible reaction?
A reversible reaction is one that can function in the forward direction (producing products) and also in the reverse direction (producing reactants). The products are capable of breaking down into the reactants which got them into that state.
How do you establish a reversible reaction?
Well, in order for this to work, the reaction HAS to take place in a closed system.

The B17!
Well, I think the title speaks for itself, a little bit.
In a regular sized, 360° circle, there are 17 important angles in both degrees and radians. YAY!
DEGREES:
It seems like a whole lot of random numbers at first glance, however take another look:
- Each red angle (4 quadrants) increase by 90°
- The 3 angles in between each of the quadrants increase by 15° each time
- Most are angles we've learned or seen many times in the past
RADIANS:
Again, just look like a bunch of numbers all thrown together with some pi. Not literally unfortunately!
- The 4 quadrants, is just the circle split into 4. 2π is actually 4π/2 in disguise.
- Each of the pieces with the same base (3,4,6) is just half the circle split into that many pieces
MY ADVICE:
Anaylze each of the circles carefully, degrees and radians, eventually you'll be able to see the patterns and understand the concept. There's little tips and tricks for everything!
Oh, and by the way, don't be fooled, it looks like there's only 16 angles because there's only 16 lines. But 0° and 360° are on the same line, just like 0π and 2π. It went through the entire circle!

Try it, I dare ya
Trick 6: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8
Step1: Choose a number from 1 to 6.
Step2: Multiply the number with 9.
Step3: Multiply the result with 111.
Step4: Multiply the result by 1001.
Step5: Divide the answer by 7.
Trick 8: x7x11x13
Step1: Choose a number from 1 to 6.
Step2: Multiply the number with 9.
Step3: Multiply the result with 111.
Step4: Multiply the result by 1001.
Step5: Divide the answer by 7.
Answer: All the above numbers will be present.
Trick 8: x7x11x13
Step1: Think of a 3 digit
number.
Step2: Multiply it with x7x11x13.
Ex: Number: 456, Answer: 456456

It's a love hate relationship
Sometimes math can get a little discouraging, much like other things in life. The trick is to not give up.
I'm sure most of us have the same feelings towards logs as I do, hate. Nothing against them personally, I just find them difficult to understand. It kind of frustrates me because I usually catch on to things rather quickly which is why math is one of my best subjects. After the results of my test, it made me feel maybe I wasn't as capable as I thought I was. However, I thought about it, over and over again, and realized that that's the whole point of math. To push yourself. It's not supposed to be easy, well, certain things anyway. All's you can do is try your best and keep on going.
Luckily it's still my favourite.

What steps do you take when trying to solve a mathmatical equation?
Or math in general, how do you do it?

Kinda nice to see it actually being executed!
